  1. Well has someone noticed the dumbness of our pet?
    My case if the following:
    When I go and try to collect a bonus box guess who goes for it too? Yeah my crazy pet -.-
    instead of going for the one that is farther away from me it goes for the easy one which is the easy one for me to collect...
    Then there is other cases.. for example:
    when im collecting, my pet goes for one box and then I decide to go for another box which is farther away, but my pet leaves the box which he was collecting and goes for the one im about to collect... and at that moment if i decide to go for the bx he was collecting, my pet returns to that box at least 2 times...
    this frustrates me a lot because it doesnt make any advantage for me unless im just sitting there waiting for my pet to do all the work....
    Bigpoint can you make our pet a lil smarter? it makes no sense...
    does someone else has the same problem?
     
  2. Hello †→Zєηη←†

    The behavior of P.E.T is unpredictable at times and there might be some situations where it will go for same bonus box or cargo box or ore's which your ship might go for. Having radar protocol for your P.E.T always helps and that way your P.E.T can have more range to collect something.
    If you got any Ideas and suggestions post it here> Update & Idea Pool

    Do you (the original poster) have any further questions or can we close?
     
  3. Oh sorry i forgot to add that.
    I have two radar protocols lv3 and the collecting protocol level 3 also, so I don't see why it does that.
    If it was so "unpredictable" why do I always know what is my pet going to do?
    well idk if someone would give a +1 to my idea i first need to see who would agree with what im saying through this post

    I would expect many would +1 that the pet AI needs a rework. It's disfunction increased after an update described in patch notes as improving the autolooting ability of the pet.

    The behaviour you described is accurate and completely ridiculous. I think it should be important to note that autoresource collector gear does not suffer from this problem. The pet predictably goes to the nearest available ore and collects it. If the autoloot gear would do the same then the pet would look seriously less confused.

    Knowing that the pet will go for the nearest thing (like in pally for example) allows you to collect something that isn't the nearest thing thus increasing your efficiency. Using pet to collect bonus boxes is counterproductive with the current behaviour.

    Well i say +1
    The reason behind this is I have lvl 3 resource collector and 5 lvl3 radar protocols and still at times my pet tries to collect pally which im trying to collect...

    Seriously are you trolling us BP??

  6. When the PET was first released they behaved in a manner the OP is wanting, then support changed it's actions to make it 'smarter'. The result is what we see today. A total joke if you ask me.

  8. so people as i can see we all agree that the pet needs work, so the only way to do this is have enough people and post the idea on a date that everyone would know so we can vote and make bigpoint work on our pets becaue is way to dumb and if it was unpredictable the how the hell do i know that my pet is always going to get the box im about to collect? am i some kind of magician and i havent noticed? the answer is no so yeah the pet has problems

    i watch my pet jumping back and forward between 2 boxes deciding which one to pick up and when i move it runs back to me gets annoying i dont even box with my pet anymore. i havent been to palli in a few months but it worked fine in 5-3 dont know if that is still the case
     
  11. unfortunately, when the people in charge change something in a way that is less beneficial to you but more beneficial to them, in this case we are collecting less free uri, then you have to ask yourself if it was an accident or by design :(

    My PET only does this when boxing. Collecting Pally it goes for the nearest palladium available so I can choose the furthest ones away to collect myself. I usually bonus box alone anyway as my PET usually attracts other players to where I am actually cloaked. Which is annoying as I usually box in bmps.

  14. Totally agree with the OP and everyone.

    The description of the inept behavior of the PET was accurate, and well said.

    Watching my pet "decide" witch box to collect...all while it flys back and forth not collecting either one, -_- , is very frustrating.

    It seems to happen more if my cargo is full, does anyone else notice that ?

  15. Kami is what gets me, say your fighting with someone and your getting hit, your pets set on kami, so it fly's up to them, instead of blowing up straight away which sometimes it does, it also stops for a few sec's letting them get out of range then blows up been a complete waste..

    There was some other issues recently with the pet aswel, but off the top of my head this was the major one, or more annoying in my opinion.

    I second that, if your target moves when the pet is trying to kami it, then the PET takes like 4 seconds to actually blow up, which by that point the person is no where near.
